Dell's New Mobile Device Aimed at iPod Touch Audience

We first reported rumors of the Dell Streak back in January, but details were very limited. Now, 9to5mac reports that Dell has pulled back the curtain--at least a little--to give us a better look at what's coming.

The new Mini 5 (its internal codename is the Streak, but the final name hasn't been released yet) is an Android device with a 5-inch 800x480 touchscreen. It includes a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, plus a front-facing VGA camera for video chatting.

Dell is reaching out to the style conscious, offering a wide variety of "premium finishes" and even allowing the buyer to personalize colors. They have also reached a content partnership with Amazon, including a link to the Amazon store backed up by a Kindle app for the new device and support for Amazon MP3 and Amazon video on demand. That also means 3G data support, something missing from the iPod touch.
